		<i>It was Lily Rachmawati’s dream to run a nice place with lodges which could serve two goals: on one hand offering visitors from all over the world the opportunity to experience the beauty and the culture of Indonesia, on the other hand creating conditions for the people of Lombok to learn, work and to grow. Lily met two Dutch people, Christianne van Wijk and Eddy Plasier, who got inspired. Plans were made, land was bought, lodges were built and the three of them created Desert Point Lodges. </i>
		
		<h4>The Opening</h4>
		<p>
		On May 1st 2006 the lodges welcomed their first visitors. With a restaurant, a boat, a beach, a loving staff and the waves of Desert Point ( Bangko-Bangko ) minutes away made it a perfect place to stay for a lot of people. At this moment, a lot more people are involved in the project, both local people as other people. All of them are people who want to contribute to the success of the camp and the projects the camp facilitates. </p>

		<h4>The Goal</h4>
		<p>		
		The main goal for the camp is to stimulate, initiate and supervise small local projects concerning entrepreneurship, healthcare and education. Another goal is to maintain a good balance between the money and the power of the tourists and the beauty of the unspoiled nature and culture of the local people. In order to reach those goals, Desert Point Lodges is permanent in touch with the local people and their needs.
